and construction Of such compress. This
is to be new ninety-inch Morse cotton
press, similar in ali respects to, and as
complete as the Marshall compress,
owned by the same company, and said to
be the finest perhaps in the state The
outlay for the compress when up and
ready for use will be at least $50, 900.
1t is now being built at the Fulton Iron
Works, St. Louis. Messrs. Rainey and
Wise are giving this enterprise their
personal attention and supervision.
The system Of WaterWorks lately con-
tracted for by the city Is on liberal
scale commensurate with the growing
| needs of GreenviIle, and when com
pleted, which will be by or before No
vember, will be a most substantial &C
QUESTION and desideratum. An a5un-
dant water supply is guaranteed by
Messrs. NJ. 2. Kelley & Co, the cOntrac-
tors, who are perfectly responsible men,
at an annual cost to the city Of $1,000,
with option of purchasing works at the
end Ut five years. MIR. Kelley viii begin

Greenville is not without her parks.
She has two parks, Moulton's and Kings,
named for property owner and banker
respectively, and the first donated to the
city by 0. D. MouIton. Moulton's park
lies southeast Of town, convenient dis
lance, embraces eight acres. and is
planted with shade trees. The other is
just north of town, is we shaded and a
pleasant resort. These resorts are in
their infancy, and Will doubtless be added
to and greatly improved.
Speaking OF Greenville's enterprises,
and of her enterprise without the S, am
reminded to say word about one which

none other than a good roller Touring
mill, with capacity of not less than,x55e4
barrels, run by.expert and experlsAsed
milIers. Greenville is most eligiblE and
admirably well located for such an enter
prise. Situated in one of the best wheat
producing counties in Texas, not eXceptrS
ing any, and with a dense populationl
that could and would consume all of the

by a mill of the proportions men
toned, Greenville and Hunt county, with

market therefor. 1t is safe to say that |
with the encouragement good Touring
mill of such capacity would offer to our
wheat raisers, the production of this |
bread crop would be increased ten-fold |
within short time. There are hundreds |
OF rich, uncultivated acres adapted to it's
culture within radius of ten miles of the !
courthouse, which would be quickly
utilized and turned into rich and over
burdened harvest fields, if but the assur-
ance of ready home market were held
out for all the wheat that could be plo-
duced therefrom. A Touring mill here
